Hi ! I see that the standard cells are being placed on top of the IP after the placement stage which shouldn't be the case right, so what could be the possible reason behind it and how to fix this?

interesting. following this thread

@Mansi Mohapatra: See the thread by Matt Guthaus from June 14 (directly above in this channel). I believe it is the same issue, and has the same solution.

Okay Thanks! Will check.
